Job 1:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ And a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the female donkeys were feeding beside them.^{[a] 15} Then^[b] the Sabeans attacked,^[c] and they took them, and they slew the servants by the edge of the sword.^[d] But^[e] I escaped, even I alone, to tell you.”

¹⁶ While this one was still speaking, another^[f] came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens, and it blazed up against the sheep and goats and against the servants, and it consumed them. But I escaped, even I alone, to tell you.”
